Technical Mortar Market Report 2026

The technical mortar market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.1 billion in 2025 to $4.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for high-performance repair mortars, growing adoption of chemical-resistant mortars in industrial projects, increasing use of waterproofing and insulating mortars, expansion of fire-resistant mortars in safety-critical structures, rising preference for polymer-modified and epoxy-based mortars.

The technical mortar market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in infrastructure development, increasing demand for waterproofing and fire-resistant solutions, growth in industrial and commercial construction projects, adoption of advanced polymer-modified mortar technologies, focus on long-lasting and low-maintenance construction materials. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-performance repair mortars, growing adoption of chemical-resistant mortars in industrial projects, increasing use of waterproofing and insulating mortars, expansion of fire-resistant mortars in safety-critical structures, rising preference for polymer-modified and epoxy-based mortars.

The increase in construction and infrastructure development is expected to drive the growth of the technical mortar market in the coming years. Construction and infrastructure encompass the planning, development, and maintenance of vital physical assets such as roads, bridges, buildings, and utilities that underpin economic progress and daily activities. The expansion of construction and infrastructure projects is largely driven by rising government investment in transportation initiatives aimed at improving connectivity and supporting economic growth. Technical mortar plays a key role in construction and infrastructure by providing enhanced bonding strength, durability, and protective performance, making it essential for masonry applications, concrete repair, and waterproofing in buildings, bridges, and other critical structures. For example, in July 2025, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government body, reported that total general government investment in infrastructure rose by 2.2% to £28.9 ($33.91) billion in current prices in 2024 compared with the previous year. As a result, the growth in construction and infrastructure development is fueling the expansion of the technical mortar market.

Leading companies in the technical mortar market are focusing on developing innovative mortar technologies, such as specialized 3D-printing mortar formulations, to improve construction efficiency and reduce material wastage in complex projects. 3D-printing mortar formulations are specifically designed to offer enhanced flowability, quick setting, and strong adhesion between layers, enabling automated construction in 3D concrete printing applications. For example, in January 2025, Holcim Group, a Switzerland-based building materials company, launched Tector 3D Mortar, developed in collaboration with local machine maker Teknix. This mortar, composed of cement, sand, and specialized additives, is designed for 3D printing full-scale building components, promoting local innovation and manufacturing. While it offers less strength than traditional cement, it enhances material efficiency by placing material only where needed, eliminating formwork and enabling design freedom and faster construction.

In February 2025, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., a France-based company specializing in light and sustainable construction, acquired Fosroc International Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Saint-Gobain to strengthen its global footprint in the construction chemicals sector, especially in Asia and emerging markets, by integrating Fosroc’s strong brand, product portfolio, and regional presence. Fosroc International Limited is a UK-based company, manufactures and supplies high-performance construction chemicals, including technical mortars.
